Hivern

As John Talabots Barcelona label tells it, the UK indie band and their label, Young Turks, approached them about gathering some remixes. "It was a big honour and also a big responsibility," the label write, "especially considering that The xx is one of our favourite bands." Each of the four artists chosen for HVNXX—Marc Piñol, New Jackson, Mistakes Are Ok and new signing Round—take on a different cut from The xxs 2012 full-length, infusing it with the sort of abstract yet sunny house vibe Hivern Discs has been pushing these last few years. (Talabot and Pional, the obvious exclusions, have already put forward their contribution, a collaborative remix on a12-inch released early this year.)
